Watching

Have you ever watched a child's eyes?

Watched the wonder and excitement about every moment of life?

Watched the pure emotions so easily displayed?

Have you seen how those bright eyes light up even more when dad walks in the room?

Have you seen the trust and love written on their face 

because they want to be just like their dad?

One day I was sitting in my room thinking when I realized how much I am like my dad.

I'd never realized it before, but suddenly there was no denying it.

I'd watched my dad growing up and learned about life.

I learned to love camping.

I learned to never stop learning.

I learned to do my best and try my hardest.

I learned to love my mom.

I learned the importance of a righteous example.

I learned how to laugh. 

I learned how to love. 

And now that I'm older I still watch.

I watch for what I want my future husband to be like.

I watch for how I want my future family to be.

I'll never stop watching. 

I'll never stop loving. 

I love you dad.

Now. And Forever.
